Whale earwax and parasitic worms go on display at Natural History Museum as part of 'broken planet' exhibition Whale earwax and parasitic worms are going on display at the Natural History Museum in a new exhibition about the "broken planet".
'Fixing our Broken Planet' will feature bacteria that can be used to extract valuable copper from mine waste, show how bison are redesigning British forests for the better and explain how DNA analysis is fighting mosquito-borne diseases like malaria.
Specimens like a Sumatran rhinoceros, parasitic worms and whale's earwax will be on show, curated to tell the story of the relationship between people and the planet.
The free new gallery is designed to "explore the biggest challenges facing our planet" and provide visitors with solutions and positive actions they can take.
Fixing Our Broken Planet places this research at the heart of the Museum... showing that we all have the power to make change.".
